Higher education is not a neutral terrain; it has consistently embodied distinct values. Whether rooted in liberal arts, scientific inquiry, or vocational training, each academic pursuit has a set of underlying principles. Universities serve as places for shaping perspectives and molding societal attitudes. From fostering critical thinking to promoting cultural norms, higher education actively transmits values. Acknowledging the values of higher education should be celebrated. Take a look at the mission statement of any institution of higher education to see the values that are the core of the institution. Students can determine what institution aligns with their values. This is why we have 4,000 institutions of higher education and not just Ivy League institutions.
